Say Hello Again to Margit - My Danish Paper Art Muse.
Submitted by Pam on Mon, 02/13/2012 - 00:09
Mid-summer may be a few months away, but it is not too soon to begin starting seedlings in anticipation of my flower covered Mid-summer well - a gift from my friend Margit.
A gift in the sense that in sharing the details of this Mid-summer tradition unique to her Danish island of Bornholm, she inspired me to create one in my own garden in honor of our friendship.

Christmas in July 2011! Just about the best ever because I shared the celebration with three amazing Scandinavian women who are so generous in sharing inspiration and friendship. Carina, Hanna, and Kathryn.

Selecting a photograph to begin this post about my friend Erin, who shares her many talents on her blog "Elysian Studios", became an impossible task, so I chose instead a picture of one of the ways she has inspired me and made my life more enjoyable! My hand-woven journal!

Wreath made of milk cartons by Michele Pacey
Michele Pacey! Recycle/reuse genius!
She has restored my faith that recycled materials can be made in to objects that truly do have lasting value.
She has rekindled my interest in playing with the boxes and cans and cardboard and junk mail usually sent to the recycle bin or the dump.

One of my very favorite Yarnia blends - Perseus. Photo by Lindsey at Yarnia.
Wow! So much enthusiasm for all things yarn! I wish I could send every single person who entered a certificate.
If nothing else - your responses confirmed something I have suspected for awhile now - I hang out in the very best part of internet space!
THE WINNER OF THE YARNIA GIFT CERTIFICATE:
TANVEL!
Tanvel! You can no longer make the claim that you never win! Congratulations!
Lindsey, the lovely owner of Yarnia here in Portland, just shared with me that she has added a new feature to the site called "Finished Projects"! So many temptations!
I am so glad I am learning to crochet because I see another market bag for Diane - in my future!
And check it out! Lindsey has included a few of my projects made with Yarnia yarns!!
Now go visit Yarnia and find your perfect "dream yarn" while there is still plenty of chilly weather ahead for knitting, crocheting, weaving!
